Those are among the most beautiful pieces I've ever seen. They are so good they nearly make me want to give up woodworking because I know I'll never reach that level. Your wife is very fortunate indeed. Just incredible. Congratulations on a couple of fine pieces.

I really admire your shop. It just strikes me as what a real shop should look like. Especially with the older iron machines. Your layout looks to be perfect. Congrats

Nice piece! Do you have a picture of it closed? Just finished a cabinet for my planes. Doesn't quite come up to your standards. I used felt for lining the bottoms. Was able to pick some up that had adhesive backing at a craft store.

Made the same mistake myself as far as what view you used. I was not able to view through entrepreneur eyes and never will be able to. I do admire those that are able to use good business judgment but remain true to the quality they aspire to. The only plus I got out of the experience was a decent detached shop and some nice additional tools. Doesn't quite overcome the feeling of failure but education does have it's price. Good luck to all those who try.

Very impressed.....Must be a very patient carbon based life-form. Would like to learn to do stave work myself. You should be quite proud.

FIRST?!!!!!! Used to feel good about my skills...(:-). It is a beautiful piece, though. Very envious. Congrats
